Gerardo,
I'm not surprised that most of your seeds do not germinate. I put the bag the entire first inflorescence. When I opened the bag, all the flowers have fallen (not pollinated) and the remaining single flower is in the photo. Pistil was very long. I tried to pollinate the flower by brush. Matured very small fetus, which was only fifteen seeds. I do not know if they will germinate. Mostly I do not have such problems with pollination in the garden still windy and I have a lot of bumblebees there.
